This book didn’t really work for me. The world of stocks and trades just doesn’t make sense to me and I don’t find it interesting at all, and so much of this story didn’t spark anything exciting for me. I like the concept of alternating narratives and enjoyed reading the different perspectives, but it didn’t feel like there were any great revelations or big changes between one to one. I can see how this would be impactful for people, but it just didn’t do it for me.

I rounded up, it was more 2.5 stars. I wanted to like this book. Maybe my expectations were too high? It feels mysterious because I couldn’t even tell what it was about for the first 40% of the book. Solid ending.
